Hi Delbert

never try bridge. I just use:
  ifconfig  usb0 192.168.254.100
  iptables -A POSTROUTING -t nat -j MASQUERADE -s 192.168.254.0/24
  sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
  route add -host 192.168.254.101 usb0

I spent some hours this afternoon attempting to connect the Ben to the

complete instructions for Debian, what I have running on my netbook.
However, something was not correct and I could not get things to work.

Has anyone on the list been successful in doing that?  Clearly it is
quite a bit more complex than using a bridge to a standard NIC for a
cable connection.

I'm interested in getting this working because I want to replace my
seven-year old laptop with a newer version, perhaps an ultrabook.
Several of the recent models announced do not have an ethernet port.
Of course, I can plug in a usb ethernet atdapter, I already do that
with the XO from OLPC project.  However, it would be nice to be able
to dispense with that.

Thanks for any pointers or experiences.
